Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the Impreza ABS sensors for both traction control and ABS at the same time?

Cheers

I'm real close to getting the wiring on the car that prompted the thread in that link. I'll report back on how everything works out. Going to try Ryan's suggestion of only tapping the ve+ side first, since it's the simplest.

Hi,

Thank you very much, since it is a S8, i believe that i can plug the sensors directly into the ecu, will the abs still works if i only T it?

Cheers

You can't only wire one side with 2 wire sensors. However you should be able to make it work reasonably well by connecting them in parallel and selecting a 0-5v input on the S8. However you will only see one side of the voltage waveform so the performance may not be perfect at very low speed.

Hello Paul,

Thank you.

If i understood well, it will work better if i use the oem Subaru sensors for tc only and remove the abs, right?

Cheers

I would make them both work.
